Water Street in Newburyport runs beside the river towards Plum Island. I loved to paint down by the river. This painting of part of the old seawall I painted in Maine from a photo. I love to paint pleinair, to be in a spot and absorb the atmosphere of a place. I am familiar with this place and have a good memory of it.

The wonderful thing about years of painting is the knowledge I've accumulated, and the ability to express myself in new and exciting ways. I am established, but forever growing.
There is consistency in the way I work, that unifies the diversity of my paintings. I always think in terms of color, shape and value. My paintings are well composed and expressive, whether the subject is, leaves of a cabbage, the walls of a room, or the shapes of an abstract painting. My diversity tells you I am open to seeing all ways, that I am inspired by many things, and that I enjoy life, and express that joy in my work. Each painting is a challenge as the learning process never ends.
I am glad to be an artist, I live in a beautiful, quiet place, a place that suites my personality, and stimulates my creative nature. Though my eyes I have been able to observe nature, to marvel at it’s creation to see color and beauty in all things. To observe man, interact with man. To see the genius of man as a creator himself, to see the love, joy, hate, and sorrow that man can express.
My goal in life is to be happy, and I am happy because I have done what I like to do. I am a professional artist; I've spent my life becoming a better painter, and I have made my living selling art which is one of the reasons for this site. I believe art should be beautiful and express the joy of life.
"Paintings are a joyful expression of creativity, spontaneous expressions that tell how one feels about something outsclasse in the visible world or insclasse in the world of classeas and feelings."
Thanks for visiting.………… Audrey
